UI just a small part? Seriously? For a trivial application perhaps, or 
if you really can stick to using a bunch of standard components and be 
done with it. In my experience, if you want to make a good interface, 
that is not where the work stops. There is very, versy significant 
effort in a good user interface.

That though, _is_ true. Different platforms require a different UI. 
Which amounts to more of the work I already pointed out above.
